According to the principles of Christian social doctrine
CATHOLICS FOR ALTERNATIVE
of Publio Fiori
The political landscape clearly shows that we are experiencing the apparent inability of the "old" address the crisis of capitalism with a proposal for a new development model. The measures taken to prevent the failure of banks and, therefore, states are attempting to save a system that clearly showed the impossibility of continuing on a road marked by international speculation, from a monetary policy capable of ensuring actual development and social justice, and a production system-consumer contrary to the interests of the people.
THE NEW MODEL OF DEVELOPMENT.
The old logic to consume what is needed for the production, rather than produce that meets the real needs of people, over. For example, the FIAT, the consensus between the government and the political twists industrial relations, forcing workers to accept new forms of contracts and increased productivity, of course, getting the applause of the world finanziario.Ma the market is in decline, the product -car does not roll because the citizens want something different: a proper public transport instead of private car does not solve the problems of mobilità .E 'a more general phenomenon: it increases the demand for collective consumption (transport, water, energy, waste disposal waste, health, security, justice, etc..) decreases and that of individual consumption. We, therefore, the need for a "new development model ", but the policy does not address, is taken as a personal and ideological clashes never proposed that contain an indication of where to find resources necessarie.C 'are those who still speaks of" communism "and who invokes the "consumption" to end the crisis.
CATHOLICS can not represent the "conservative bloc."
may have to stay still stuck between "communism" and "consumerism"? Let's face it. We know that politics matter in the agreements and covenants, but I ask you, beyond solutions of opportunistic mold ruling ideology, with which party and which leader would be happy to help out? Why, next to the disappointment of the majority and the government is aware of a left-wing opposition clear without ethics, without cohesion and without the program. In addition to a center that you do not understand either the same ideals and culture, or the glue between the parties that compose it, nor the content of the project politico.I Catholics can not join a deployment only to find a minute space of power! But not even allowed to remain at the window relegating the reference values \u200b\u200bin the privacy of their own conscience.
POLICY AND THE SOCIAL DOCTRINE CHRISTIAN.
In this connection I would like to mention three concepts of Christian social doctrine.
• First of all the political commitment of Catholics: "For the lay faithful political commitment is a skilled and demanding expression of Christian service to others" (Paul VI - Octagesima adveniens, 46: AAS 63 - 1971 - 433-436)
• Then the concept of secularism: "Secularism is an acquired value and recognized by the Church and belongs to the heritage of civilization has been reached." (Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith - 11/24/2002, 6, Libera Editrice Vaticana, p. 11).. A secular, therefore, understood not as indifference in the face of the state religion, but a State guarantee for the protection of freedom of religion under the pluralism and religious cult ural (see the Constitutional Court ruling No. 203/89). So the attitude of the secular state of being at the service of concrete instances of the civic and religious conscience of citizens, and to see religion as a living element to the formation of that ethical fabric of which democracies are still in need.
• Finally, the policy choices and moral values: "The lay faithful is called to identify, in concrete political situations, the steps realistically possible to implement the principles and moral values \u200b\u200bof their social life. " (Congregation for Catholic Education, Guidelines for the study of the social doctrine of the Church ... 8, Rome 1988 pp. 13-14).
CLEAR POLICIES ON THE BASIS OF A NEW ETHICAL TENSION.
Therefore, Catholics must engage in politics, secular and democratic with respect for everyone, even those who think differently, and should become a real organism that will lead to alliances are compatible with their principles morali.Queste These are our guidelines. And on these we must also certify in the upcoming election, to make our contribution to a camp that places at the center of its program, the dignity of the individual, family, popular participation, a truly representative electoral reform, social justice, freedom of education, the fight against tax evasion and financial speculation, the future of young people, decentralization and local autonomy, the collective needs and that general principle of morality that must always characterize the action politica.Siamo believe in political Catholicism is still untapped potential to "keep alive in the Catholic world, and more generally of Italian society, an ethical tension towards higher goals and more noble than to show that the current political offre.Non we can resign ourselves to a commitment or who, running out on the basis of interests and personal ambitions, put our history in the service of this or that padrone.Poiché on this topic requires a thorough debate even at home, convene a meeting of the Federation of Christian Democrats "in early February.
